tice. Enrol your children in sports teams, Boy
Scouts, church groups, community organizations
where they will gain experience in dealing
with others. Encourage them to hold office too.
An athletic-team captain or a member of the
student council gets plenty of chances to demonstrate
leadership skills. But let your children
strive for leadership in their own areas of interest.
Some kids are leaders on the playground,
others in the classroom. Not everyone can be
class president, or wants to be, but a talented
writer can become editor of the school newspaper.
Operating in an area where one feels at
home builds confidence.
6. Family psychologist John Rosemond of the
Center for Affirmative Parenting in Gastonia,
N.C., has identified respect, resourcefulness
and responsibility as the basic characteristics
parents should develop in a child. The mantle
of leadership falls on those who try to understand
and abide by the rules (respectful), who
keep trying, or try new ideas when there’s
a setback (resourceful) and who face up to the
consequences of their actions (responsible).
In the end it’s not your words but your example
that matters. Studies of leaders have shown
that their parents, too, exhibited leadership
qualities, though often in unrecognized ways.
They considered community service important.
They made a point of helping others. They had
dreams for their families – couched in terms of
values and standards, rather than material
gain. Put to the test, they displayed inner
strength that brought the family through tight
places.
Nutrition experts tell us that if you want
a healthy child, you provide a healthful diet:
what you put in is what you get back. That
applies in character development too. The love
and concern you direct to your child returns in
an inner strength and confidence that translates
to leadership.
